How The Crystal Maze Got Refurbished with Aurora Lighting

It comes as no surprise low energy LED products have revolutionized the lighting industry. Aurora Lighting has invested in a range of new lighting kit specifically for the latest series of Channel 4’s ‘The Crystal Maze’. Aurora lighting collaborated with lighting designer Gurdip Mahal and gaffers James Tinsley and Adam Mitchell on the show.

The size and scale of the set, created by series designer James Dillon at The Bottle Yard, Bristol, required a flexible lighting package that could both maintain ambient levels and shift easily between the moods created to accompany each specific area. A variety of automated fixtures including Martin MAC Viper Profile, Clay Paky Sharpy and GLP X-4s, which allow swift alterations between moods or the addition of colour and movement to assist in highlighting action. They also incorporated a number of Fresnels into the design. It is used to imitate the tungsten warmth of the original show.

Project manager Ben Taylor said: “Gurdip and the whole production crew have been wonderfully creative in building custom looks for each challenge zone that manage to reflect the feel of the original series but with a clever modern touch”.
